The Kickstand Song
Darren Hanlon

The intro of this song is not really that hard; it is just that there are a couple of 
chords in it that you might not know off the top of your head

Capo 3rd fret

G A/C# D Dmaj7 G Bm 
D A7sus D A
(note: between the G and the Bm, there might be some kind of F# chord, but i'm not sure)
